cherryteam is quite known for its glow levels, I can name quite a few examples of this type of levels that are from cherryteam, one of many such levels is "Vignette".
The level, as I mentioned before is of a glow style, I know that it may sound quite generic for being from cherryteam, however the theme of the level gives a twist to the atmosphere that I could notice. Well, this level is set in the old movies, with sepia and yellow colors that really combine quite well, in addition to having arts related to old cinema, something that really caught my attention.
The only problem I could notice in the decoration is the song-environment relationship that this level has, because in my opinion, using Fracture as a song of this level, was not the best option, because I feel that the song has nothing to do with this decoration and this theme.
The gameplay is comfortable to watch at least, because the drop consists of quite interesting duals, I must appreciate that the entire drop has duals, the fact that the gimmicks have been used so well for the duals is quite admirable in my opinion. Like all gameplay of this style, it needs to be practiced a lot to be learned, but it's not a big problem if you've already had experience with levels of this style with more flowy gameplay.
Overall good level tho
The song choice with the visual of Mickey Mouse is very funny. There is nothing that stands out aside from that, besides the fact the level claims to end while still having 20 seconds of gameplay left to play.
typical unoriginal CherryTeam bullshit, why the fuck would this use Fracture of all songs too, it completely ruins the theme this level was going for in the first place
“Old film themed level”
Ahh yes, because generic glow that we’ve seen thousands of times before was totally prevalent throughout pre-WW2 films
Why does it use this song
Vignette is very stylistically consistent throughout the whole thing, albeit part quality varies. That being said there is so much untapped potential with the theming and most of the parts just fail to break out of feeling like a blur. The references in this thing just feel like they're there to fill space and don't really... serve a purpose at all?
"Hey! Look at me! You know Steamboat Willie right? Everyone loves Mickey Mouse! This level has the film count down in it, too! It's a good level i promise"
i will say Helpegasus' part looks pretty nice is easily the best one because the colours actually look different and are pretty solid. Still has "THE END" plastered on it while it's halfway through the level
1.5
I appreciate this level
+1 score for the twenty one pilots reference i love that duo
